Marathon
Type
Road, point to point.
Course
Undulating – downhill start. Heart break hill at … does not live up to its reputation.
Expo
Excellent but busy. If you can afford it splash out on the official BAA jacket. Huge bragging rights.
Start Line / Aid Stations
Facilities at start line are good and need to be because you get bussed there early. Take warm throw-aways. Aid stations as expected.
Medal/-Tshirt/Goody Bag
Medal – one to be proud of. Long sleeved t-shirt.
Accommodation
Plenty and varied but sells out early. We stayed at The Bostonian
Restaurants
Again just what you would expect in a big city.
Comments
Obviously one for the bucket list for marathon lovers though qualification not easy. Marathon entry expensive too but doesn’t seem to put many off. Very few international tour operator places available. Will need to get on to waiting list even for these.
